Chapter 61: Assassination in the Night
At night, everyone returned to Hua Manlou's house and talked about today's investigation in Hua Manlou's room.
However, while talking, I fell into a dead end, and I had no clue.
"Okay, since you don't have the slightest clue and it's not too early, let's all go back and rest!" Seeing that there were no useful clues to discuss, Lu Xiaofeng asked everyone to go back to rest.
"Yes! Everyone is tired all day today, so go back to rest and rest, recuperate, and we'll check it out tomorrow. Hua Manlou also said with a smile.
"In that case, then let's go rest first, and then go to investigate the case together tomorrow." Shangguan Haitang saw that Su Xin and Yun Luo had no energy at all, yawned again and again, and said casually.
After that, Shangguan Haitang called Su Xin and a few people, and Su Xin and a few people also said goodbye to Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, and after that, the five of them went back to rest first, leaving only Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, and after a while, Lu Xiaofeng also went back to his room.
At night, Jin Lin used meditation and practice instead of sleeping, suddenly, he heard the sound of fighting outside, and listened carefully, it was the direction of Shangguan Haitang's room, so he immediately got up and rushed there.
When Jin Lin arrived, Shangguan Haitang had already been injured and was struggling to resist the enemy's attack.
Jin Lin drew his sword, and then, Fengshen's legs spread, and his figure suddenly came to the front of Shangguan Haitang, stopped the man in black with a sword, and fought with him.
In the dark night, the sound of Jin Linyu's sword in the man in black was very loud, and the movement became louder and louder, which soon alarmed Lu Xiaofeng and Cheng Shifei.
Su Xin and Yun Luo saw the injured Shangguan Haitang and hurriedly stepped forward to help, while Hua Manlou checked the injury for Shangguan, and took out a pill for Shangguan Haitang to take.
Shangguan Haitang, who took the pill, hurriedly used his strength to dissolve the medicine, and when the injury stabilized, he also watched the battle with Lu Xiaofeng and his party.
I saw the two of you coming and going, and the sound of swords colliding was endless.
Jin Lin's sword was fast, but the knife of the man in black was not slow, and for a while, the two of them were evenly matched.
"I'm going to help", said Cheng Shifei, who planned to go up to help Jin Lin and deal with the man in black together.
"Wait" Lu Xiaofeng stopped Cheng Zhengfei, "Don't go first, let's take a look, and at the same time, don't let the man in black find a chance to escape." Lu Xiaofeng said.
Then, the three of them stood in three directions, surrounded Jin Lin and the man in black, and cut off the retreat of the man in black.
When Lu Xiaofeng arrived, Jin Lin and the man in black also found out, but the man in black was tightly entangled by Jin Lin and couldn't get out at all.
Then, Jin Lin fought with the man in black for more than a dozen rounds, and the man in black gradually gained the upper hand.
Jin Lin is in a very bad state now, he himself is injured, he has not healed at all, and his strength cannot be fully exerted at all.
"Jin Lin can't hold on." The changes in Jin Lin Lu Xiaofeng and Shangguan Haitang all saw it, Jin Lin's face was very pale, and the speed of his moves was also a little slower.
"Jin Lin is injured, go and help!" Yunluo shouted.
Oh, yes! Jin Lin was already injured, and it was not well, but during this time, Jin Lin was like no one else, and subconsciously made them think that Jin Lin's injury was healed, Shangguan Haitang and Cheng Shifei thought.
"What? Jin Lin is injured? Why didn't you say it earlier? Although Lu Xiaofeng was surprised, Jin Lin was able to exert such strength with an injured body, such a swordsmanship, if he was not injured, what would his strength be?
Although surprised, Lu Xiaofeng still quickly joined the battle circle, and soon, Cheng Shifei and Hua Manlou also made a move, while Jin Lin forced back the man in black with a sword, and then withdrew from the battle circle, leaving the battlefield to Lu Xiaofeng and the three.
Seeing Jin Lin out of the battle circle, Yun Luo immediately came over to support Jin Lin.
"It's okay!" Yun Luo and the three asked.
"It's okay, it's just that some internal force is consumed, and when the internal force is restored, it'll be fine." Jin said half-truthfully.
Jin Lin's internal strength has indeed not recovered, but it is not as unbearable as they thought, Jin Lin's upper dantian and middle dantian internal strength have recovered, but the lower dantian is still a little worse.
However, after this battle, the internal force that Xia Dantian had just recovered was consumed again, and Lu Xiaofeng and a few people happened to appear, so Jin Lin did not use the internal force of Zhong Dantian to aggravate the original injury.
The strength of the man in black is really extraordinary, facing Lu Xiaofeng alone, full of flowers, and the three of them are still very comfortable with it.
The battle of the three of them, the flowing clouds flying sleeves that filled the building, were responsible for attacking the man in black from a distance.
Cheng right-and-wrong transformed into a little golden man, ignoring the knife skills of the man in black, but became the main force, and punched the man in black from time to time.
And Lu Xiaofeng, who is fast and has strong fingering, allows him to stop the knife of the man in black every time and make it deviate from the direction.
If it weren't for the lack of tacit cooperation between the three of them, the man in black might not have been able to persevere.
Jin Lin saw that the knife skills of the man in black were fierce and ruthless, without a trace of fancy, and the moves were all killing moves, opening and closing, quite the shadow of the brocade guards and the sword skills in the army.
Not only Jin Lin saw it, but Shangguan Haitang also saw it.
"Jin Lin, do you think his sword technique is somewhat similar to Jin Yiwei's knife technique?" Shangguan Haitang himself was not sure and asked Jin Lin.
"His sword skills are quite the shadow of the Jinyi Guard's knife skills, not only that, it seems that he also has some sword skills in the army, plus some other sword skills, which are fused together by him." Jin Lin said in an analysis.
"Anyway, this person should be from the imperial court, but, court personnel, why did you come to assassinate me? Jin Lin, do you think it will be the people of the East Factory and the West Factory? Shangguan Haitang guessed that she suspected that it was the killer sent by the East Factory and the West Factory.
"Whether he is from the court or not, I don't know, but, since he came to assassinate you, it means that you are a threat to her, Begonia, think about it, is there anyone who has to kill you?" Jin Lin Bang Shangguan Haitang analyzed.
"I don't know, all along, Dragon Guardian Villa has always restrained and fought with the West Factory and the East Factory, and it is very likely that it is their people, but at this sensitive time, they should not send someone to assassinate me, a secret agent.
If not them, who would it be? Shangguan Haitang couldn't figure it out for a while.
"It's okay, think about it slowly and see who has this motivation," Jin Lin said.
When Shangguan Haitang was thinking, the battle between the four became more and more intense.
Whether it is the man in black or Lu Xiaofeng, even if it is a long-range attack, Hua Manlou has more or less injuries on his body, only Cheng is right and wrong, and there is no injury on his body at all.
Suddenly.
"Jin Jiuling", Shangguan Haitang shouted loudly at the man in black.
When Shangguan Haitang shouted the name Jin Jiuling, the man in black was stunned for a while, and then continued to attack Lu Xiaofeng, slashing at Lu Xiaofeng.
And Lu Xiaofeng, when he heard Shangguan Haitang shouting out Lu Xiaofeng, he was stunned, he and Jin Jiuling were friends, so he always believed in Jin Jiuling, even when Shangguan Haitang indexed the line to the victim's friend when he was investigating the case yesterday, as Jin Jiuling, who was a friend of the three victims, Lu Xiaofeng did not doubt it, and he didn't even guess it.
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned, but Cheng Shifei and Hua Manlou were not stunned, and were still attacking Jin Jiuling.
And the moment Jin Jiuling was stunned just now, he was seized by Cheng Fei and Hua Manlou, in the time of facing the enemy, even a trace of negligence could be fatal, let alone such a big mistake.
Jin Jiuling was injured in the left shoulder by Hua Manlou's convection cloud flying sleeve, and was punched in the back by Cheng Shifei, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, but Jin Jiuling still persevered, and the attack continued to attack Lu Xiaofeng.
Soon, Jin Jiuling's knife slashed in front of Lu Xiaofeng, and he was about to cut Lu Xiaofeng in half.
Suddenly, seeing that the knife that was about to cut off Lu Xiaofeng's head, he didn't cut it down, and after a closer look, it turned out that Jin Jiuling's knife was actually caught by Lu Xiaofeng's two fingers, and he couldn't inch in, and it was clamped tightly.
At the same time, Lu Xiaofeng's other hand ripped off his face towel, revealing his face, it was Jin Jiuling, and in an instant, Lu Xiaofeng's original hope was shattered.
"Why you?" Lu Xiaofeng asked Jin Jiuling, or maybe he was also asking himself.
